>Original Japanese: Sayonara>English Localization: But I'm a mermaid, he's a man-there's no point in asking why. He was my one true love, but now...it's time to say...goodbye...
>>747682387It's Japanese's fault for only having 8 words in its whole language. Then the rest are just people's names.
>>747682387rare case of localizers actually having soul
>>747682506If that was the case, then all that stuff the localization added would still not be accurate.
>jp: soulless>eng: S O V L verload
Ashamed by how these trolls got me. If YOU had any soul, you'd understand that the exposition in the localisation is redundant.
>>747682387Well, the translation got one of the words right. Which is more than some of the others.

>>747684746From what game was that? DeSu2?
Quick reminder that if you dislike this but play with Japanese voices you're a hypocrite.
>>747684479The standards are so low.
>>747688320how is that hypocritical
>>747688435Why did you ask? What possible explanation could anon could that would justify asking?None. There is none
>>747684479wtf
>>747688435Because the original version had no voices at all.
>>747682387Localization is the only industry I'm overjoyed to see being replaced by AI.
You must understand the localizers have to believe and LARP that they are just as smart and competent as their JP betters otherwise they'll be shitcanned with cause for acting out of line
The remake of Dragon Quest II is so damn good. Then you get to the mermaid part...
>>747690262haven't gotten around to the 3 remake yet, what's wrong with the mermaid part?
>>747682387Was this localized by right wing conservatoids? Why doesn't she say "btw I hate trump and am trans" at the end?
>>747690262Low point in an otherwise good game I take it?
>>747690541he probably doesnt like how they rhyme when talking
>>747682506It's actually interest how Japanese doesn't have pronouns. No wonder crossdressing and trans ideology is more flexible there.
>>747688858>i'm thankful they kicked me in the balls instead of stabbing me in the dick!
>>747690915>Japanese doesn't have pronouns
>>747690735I don't blame him. I don't like how the japanese places have everyone speak in haikus myself.
>>747691217How do they get away with blatant racism?
>>747691307I do not know. Square Enix is in a tier of it's own. NoA is super dogshit no doubt. And there's others in that tier but it's just insane.
>>747691307Same way they get away with feminism against men
>>747690915Are you a fucking retard? Good bait
thank god I learned japanese and played this game untainted
>>747691307I guess it was either that or speak in broken english.
>>747691429At least in the case of FF14 Koji states they don't actually read the English. The Japanese side doesn't. It gets translated back into Japanese. So potential for foul play obviously. And he mentions trying to sneak stuff in, that could just be standard at Square.
>>747691192they use amateur nouns. it's an idiot graphic language
>Mermaids speaking in rhyme>NPCs in each town have different speech patternsSoul
>>747691676Pronouns? What about the amateur nouns?
The gold standard for localizations right here.
>>747692158Made me cross my eyes in rage and I'm not exaggerating.
>>747692158What's the original Japanese?
>>747692158I find it funny how it each DS game gets easier to read as they tamper off with them accents. 4 goes full retard, 5 has them but nothing too terrible sans a few parts, while 6 feels almost completely normal.
>>747682387>she wasn't an evil sirenSurprised me actually
>>747691819Pronouns mean nothing on the battlefield. After a week, nobody has a gender
My wife Veronica.
>>747692517>battlefieldTranslation: Reddit comment section.
>>747692158you can really feel the contempt for the audience localizers have when they make shit blatantly painful to read like this. Charlotte's dialogue in Trials of Mana was similarly painful to look at.
>>747682387>>747688858these niggas dont even have n1 and get hired baka
>>747682387She's cute. Post feet.
>>747692626Comment section? Like they have on youtube?
>>747682387The mermaids speak in rhyme in English. Does this not happen in the Japanese version?
>>747693051completely made up
>>747691604thats hot. game name?
>>747693238Same game as OP, Dragonquest XI my nigga.
>>747692996>We're not in the YouTube algorithm engagement complex anymore Anthony.
>>747693334theres like 13 games so thats why I asked
>>747682387BasedLocalizers are better writers than some dweeb game dev
>>747692856>Charlotte's dialogue in Trials of Mana was similarly painful to look at.And that was light compared to the DQ stuff. Her dialect would have been like a whole town and 20 hours of dialogue in a DQ game.
>Be dirty spic>Learnt english long ago>Fucking hate the weird lingo in DQ>Swap language to spanish>Its fucking perfect and meme freeThanks mom for teaching me english when I was 4.
>>747693051Despite their language having only 5 vowel sounds, rhyming has never been much of a thing in Japanese.
>>747693051Japanese rarely ever rhyme anything. Because it's so easy in their language. Just normal dialogue will rhyme 20% of time. Don't do it much in songs either unless they're trying to imitate western music.In all the places where mermaids appear in Dragon Quest games, they have voiced lines. And you can hear they're clearly not rhyming. But it's not just the rhyming that's bad. The English localization insists they have to speak like fairy tale rhymes, where you have pairs of rhymes in two sentences, where the last word in the second sentence rhymes with the last word in the first sentence. This means they have to add more dialogue that wasn't there in the original.The original Japanese will be something like: "I'll take you to the mermaid village."The English will then change it to:"Hark upon me, my newfound friends. Let us away, to my kindmens dens."
>>747692856>he played with JP audiothat's what you get, Ken-sama. Charlotte's dialog is perfectly intelligible with EN audio
>>747693578The tone of that article confused the fuck out of me because I read it as a condemnation of trannylations, but it was actually a trannylator defending himself.
>>747691640Koji Fox is an insane degenerate.
>>747691640"And what's a FF game without pop culture references!" A game that lasts more than 5 years. But you clearly don't care about that since you just follow Hollywood trends.
>>747694741>Don't do it much in songs either unless they're trying to imitate western music.It isn't as ubiquitous as in western music but it's still very common.
>>747694741>In all the places where mermaids appear in Dragon Quest games, they have voiced linesNot originally.
>>747682387Millenial writing to blame
>>747695521Nope. This shit was going on in the 80s and 90s as well. Done by 60 year old men.
>>747692158I played so much dragon quest that I can read that with no problem. I guess Dragon quest Localization is now my 2nd language.
>>747694873>he hates reading so much he needs audiobooks to play an SNES era JRPGngmi
>>747693578ironically enough making everyone sound like fart huffing nobles created a ton of plot holes because of the fake army men sounding like common thugs aren't a thing in westoidese, so that twist comes out of nowhere and makes zero sense
